   This is not a good change and should not be merged.  All ZDS-II toolchain assembly files have the extension .asm but when you compile a .c file it generates a temporary .asm file that is then assembled.  When compile a foobar.c file with the ZDS-II toolchain, it generates foobar.asm, foobar.rel, foobar.obj, and foobar.lst. The .asm file is the only issue here because it is also the name used with all ZDS-II assembly file.
   
   So /.asm must appear in all ZDS-II build directories but cannot appear in a higher level directory. Just removing .asm from the top-level .gitignore file means that all of these .asm files (and there are hundreds) will all appear as untracked files. That makes those configurations very, very difficult to use.
